This is my first time joining Art Journal Journey and I sure hope I'm doing it right. I think my friend Elizabeth will help me out if I muddle up.
As I understand it, Art Journal Journey has a once a month challenge and this month the challenge is recycle and collage.
Here is my entry: Bits and pieces I found and recycled by using in a collageI started with a 8x10 canvas board. Collage pieces are newsprint, teabag papers, a few bits from magazines, odds and ends and acrylic paints. I used a metal piece in the upper left and a metal circle near center. The star is stamped on a wooden circle, the elephant (lower left) stamped on a cardboard tag.
This actually represents the true adventures of someone who traveled in both India (elephant) and Asia (large figure).
What an absolutely BRILLIANT first entry, Darla. Not only is it perfect for Alison's theme, it is well done and properly linked, too.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of all the beautiful pieces you attached to your collage. Your recycling was insightful, clever, and creative. We are SO GLAD you shared this with us at Art Journal Journey. And I personally want to thank you and invite you to join us again soon.
Love this, Darla. Brings all the elements of collage together into one delightful piece. I admire your venture into various mediums.
ReplyDeleteYou bring back to mind the washer toss game we played with the kids when they were young. Every object really _does_ tell a story :)

ReplyDeleteDarla, to put your mind at ease, you may submit a journal page every day, if you chose and it meets the host's requirements. And you may interpret the challenge any way you choose, too. You may even post TWICE a day, if you are ambitious (Grin)! Seriously, both Susi and I meant it when we said we hope to see you here more often. Not just this month, but in future months, too.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous collage Darla, you are a real talent. So interesting to see travel in India and Asia illustrated in this way. I love it!
